The pandemic initially fostered a leadership style grounded in empathy and flexibility, broadening the definition of an effective leader to include the 'nice boss.' However, as economic pressures mount and organizations face the need for measurable results, many leaders are abandoning this approach. Cost-cutting measures are reducing employee perks, signaling a cultural shift. Additionally, the decline of middle management diminishes support for frontline workers. This evolving landscape, characterized by remote work, requires both leaders and employees to adapt to a new set of expectations focused on results and efficiency.
